A suitable present for the coming holidays. Album Cards, in packages of twelve cards each. Printed in colors. One set contains various birds; another, animals, &c. Suitable for presents.

POETRY.

Scotia's Bards; the Choice Productions of the Scottish Poets, with brief Biographical Sketches. pp. 558. New York: Robert Carter & Brothers. This is a volume which possesses interest not only for the sons of the Thistle and Heather, but for all to whom poesy is a welcome visitant. The selections, which consist chiefly of entire poems, begin with Thompson, and come down to Aytoun, Thom, and Mackay. The clear type, fine paper, and neat illustrations join to make up an exceedingly attractive volume. The work has, evidently, been edited with a sort of enthusiasm; "the tartan waves on the pinnacle of the introductory page, the thistle stands guard over the gates of the preface, and the bagpipe plays an adieu at the finis." It was wholly unnecessary to inform us, in the preface, that the preparation of the volume has been altogether a labor of love. And, as love prompted the preparation, so taste has guided the execution. The passages are culled with great discernment, and are not confined to those writers who are most generally known in this country, but include numerous poems of authors who have not attained, though they richly deserve it, a transatlantic celebrity. The coming season will produce few gift volumes which, in the poetic beauty of their contents, will surpass these gems from Scotia's bards.

FICTION.

Bensley; A Story of To-day. pp. 221. New York: James G. Gregory, No. 46 Walker Street. This is the fifth number of Mr. Gregory's new Standard Series of popular fiction. The preceding works were: "The Story of Elizabeth," "Nanette, and Her Lovers," "Heart and Cross," and "My Lady." The volumes are neatly printed, on excellent paper, and, at the price of thirty cents, at which they are advertised, they form, probably, as cheap a series of works of the class as there is in the market. "Bensley" is a well-written story, full of incident, true to life and nature. The hero, a young man just setting out in life, creates, almost from the beginning, a deep interest and sympathy in the mind of the reader, which increase in each successive chapter. The characters are well drawn, and without exaggeration. The scene is laid in this country, and, for the most part, near the picturesque banks of the Hudson. The narrative is destined to become popular with the readers of current fiction. Hannah Thurston; A Story of American Life. By Bayard Taylor. 1863. pp. 464. New York: G. P. Putnam, No. 441 Broadway.

In undertaking a work of fiction, Mr. Taylor admits that he is entering upon a field different from those over which he has hitherto been ranging. How far his present adventure will be a success is, to us, a matter of some doubt, for we must say, in all frankness, that the story has not made the most favorable impression on our mind. This may have happened, however, because we expected too much from Mr. Taylor, and did not sufficiently allow for the difficulties in a first essay in a new and untried direction. The dedication, to Mr. George P. Putnam, is a well-merited compliment to a most estimable gentleman. Mr. Taylor, writing from London,

es that, in contemplating a letter of dedication friend, "while various cherished names arose,

meditated passed down Regent Street into Water loo Place, and my eye fell upon that door where, seventeen years ago, I entered, for the first time, one dreary March afternoon-entered as a timid, de sponding stranger, and issued thence with the cheer and encouragement which I owed to your unex pected kindness. The conditions which I sought are all fulfilled in you. From that day to this, in all our intercourse, I have found in you the faithful friend, the man of unblemished honor and unselfish ambition, to whom the author's interests were never secondary to his own. According to the poet Camp bell, we should be 'natural enemies,' but I dedicate this book to you as my natural friend." This gene rous tribute is no less creditable to him who bestow it than it is deserved by him upon whom it is be stowed.

Martin Pole: A Novel. By John Saunders. pp 118. New York: Harper & Brothers. This is number two hundred and thirty-four of Harpers' well-known "Library of Select Novels. The volume amply deserves a place in the collec tion, for Mr. Saunders, by his "Abel Drake's Wife," and other tales, has deservedly acquired a great deal of popularity. His style is vigorous, and his stories are full of action. The present one will be found, by the reader, to be extremely interesting.

MEDICAL.

The Physician's Hand-book of Practice for 1864. By William Elmer, M. D. Tuck. pp. 200. New York: W. A. Townsend. The seventh edition of this popular Handbook appears, this year, with many valuable changes and additions, among which is a full Index of the common names of Remedial Agents. A new me thod, in cases of Asphyxia, has been substituted for Marshall Hall's, and many other modifications have been introduced, rendering the present edition more acceptable to the profession than any of its prede cessors.

SCHOOL BOOKS.

J. H. Colton's American School Geography; prising separate Treatises on Astronomical, Phy cal, and Civil Geography, with descriptions of the several Grand Divisions and Countries of the Globe. By Charles Carroll Morgan. Illustrated with numerous engravings, and accompanied by J. H. Colton's School Atlas. 12mo. pp. 588. New York: Ivison, Phinney & Co.

The plan of this excellent work embraces a careful discussion of the leading facts and principles of geographical science, apart from, and followed by, particular descriptions of countries. The method adopted in regard to the map-questions is calculated to fix in the scholar's memory much valuable infor mation in physical and civil geography, which cannot be obtained from ordinary school books on the same subject. This work contains not only the descriptions of countries commonly found in school geographies, but full treatises on the several depart ments of the science, especially on that of physical geography; and throughout the work the influences of physical causes on human society have been carefully traced and pointed out.

BIOGRAPHY.

Toussaint L'Ouverture: A Biography, and on Autobiography. 12mo. pp. 366. Boston: James Redpath.

This volume contains two distinct work-a Biography, and an Autobiography. The Biography, by the Rev. John R. Beard, D. D., was first pab

NOV. 16, 1863.

har lished in London, ten years ago, to aid the cause of freedom, especially the abolition of slavery in the United States. The memoir of the Life of General Toussaint L'Ouverture was written by himself, in the Chateau de Joux, in a letter to Napoleon Bonaparte. The Appendix contains: A Proclamation by King Christophe; a Description of a Visit to the Chateau de Joux, by Harriet Martineau; a Sonnet on Toussaint L'Ouverture, by Wordsworth; A Visit to Chateau de Joux, by John Bigelow; A Poem on L'Ouverture, by J. G. Whittier; Wendell Phillips' Oration on Toussaint L'Ouverture, &c. The work is embellished by an outline map of Colonial Hayti, a portrait of L'Ouverture, &c.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Flower, Fruit, and Thorn Pieces; or, the Married Life, Death, and Wedding of the Advocate of the Poor, Firmian Stanislaus Siebenkäs. By Jean Paul Friedrich Richter. Translated from the German by Edward Henry Noel. With a memoir of the author, by Thomas Carlyle. Two Vols. pp. 361

and 345. Boston: Ticknor & Fields. Levana; or, The Doctrine of Education. From the German of Jean Paul Friedrich Richter. PP. 400. Same publishers.

We shall soon come to regard Jean Paul Richter as fairly domesticated among us. In addition to his Titan, already published, we now have the two works named above, and the publishers announce as in press, a new and revised edition of the "Life," by Mrs. Lee, and a volume of his miscellaneous writings. It was many years before Richter worked his way through obscurity and poverty unto renown. But the faith which nerved him had its reward, even before the close of his earthly career, and his memory is now gathering around itself the homage of the brave and gentle, the thoughtful and the gifted. That he was a wondrous character, overflowing with humor, eloquence, genius, and inspiration, no one now doubts; that he has his peculiarities of style, which, at a first reading, seem to pass into obscurities, is also doubted by no one; but that, on subsequent readings, these apparent obscurities disappear, and this cipher-writing, if we may so term it, becomes translatable to the stu

dent, and this luminous haze of beauty assumes determinate forms and shapes, as intelligible as fair, will be no less doubted by those who have endeavored to pluck out the heart of his mystery. In his fulness and manifoldness, and in his sympathy with the human soul, he is a very Shakspeare, and, like the great bard, the reach of his thought seems co-extensive with man and nature, and the deep fountain of his feeling flows onward and around as profusedly as if fed from the well-springs of an inexhaustible heart. The study of his writings will do good in many ways. Their literary peculiarities will be suggestive to the younger generation of our authors. Such great models cannot fail to be impressive. Our literature is yet in a nascent growth, and we may not foresee what will be its ultimate principle and expression. It is certain, however, that it cannot take the direction of a wise eclecticism if it overlook the masterpieces of the old world. Nor can we fail to see that the tendency of our time

is mainly towards the critical, the practical, and the

materialistic. If this hard Roman character is to

be thoroughly impressed upon us, America, like Rome, will become incapable of producing a great original literature. That we are already suffering from this tendency is evident to the close observer, and he detects, at the same time, the indications of a reactionary movement. What is the fundamental meaning of the greatly increased study of Shakspeare within the last fifteen or twenty years? Does it not spring from a craving after the spiritual, the universal, the sympathetic, and the human in our literature? We have cultivated our head, and begotten unto ourselves sciences and arts, philosophies and cosmogonies. But there is a yearning for something which shall more deeply touch our humanity, which shall draw forth the sympathies of the heart, which shall infuse an element of spirituality into our literature, and develop us as creatures of sentiment as well as of thought. All these desires are satisfied in the fulness of Shakspeare, and, in a manner somewhat the same in kind, although different in degree, they are satisfied, also, in Jean Paul. Hence, we welcome his works as a corrective of present tendencies. The "Siebenkäs" is a dramatic narrative, written in the form of prose, but overflowing with poetry, pathos, and beauty. He who works into its spirit will, thenceforward, look out upon man and nature as with a new and purified vision. He will catch glimpses of loftier ideals, and

be stirred with profounder emotions than such as can meet his fancy or move his heart in the study of our materialistic arts. The "Levana" will open to him abysses of meaning in the word "education," which are never dreamed of now, since the publicschool system has given birth to a species of mechanical pedagogy, which treats mobs of youth with a wholesale, indiscriminate prescription, which it calls education. We advise all readers, especially those who are thoughtfully-minded, to take up these volumes. It is not necessary to read them through with steam-engine haste, as if they belonged to the class of modern novels, which we sponge up at a sitting. But deal gently with them; accustom yourself to them in parts, and gradually; lay them down to-day, when you feel saturated with their influence, and resume them to-morrow; store up in your mind the brilliant and oracular apothegms; recall them as you walk the streets; contemplate the gorgeous imagery which, ever and anon, is evoked before you, and linger about it as you would pause before a painting or a statue; thus will you come, by degrees, to initiate yourself into the wondrous meanings of a writer who had no predecessor, and is without successor, but is simply himself"Jean Paul, the Unique."

NOV. 16, 1863.

Excursions. By Henry D. Thoreau, author of itself twenty-four pages, and the index of authors'
“Walden,” and "A Week on the Concord and
Merrimac Rivers." 12mo. pp. 319. With Por-
trait. Boston: Ticknor & Fields.

The first five of these essays were written some
time since, but the biographical sketch, and the
four concluding papers, appeared originally in the
"Atlantic Monthly." The sketch of the author, by
Ralph Waldo Emerson, delineates with a master's
hand the grace and beauty of character of the ec-
centric and nature-loving Thoreau. The contents
are: Biographical Sketch, Natural History of Massa-
chusetts, A Walk to Wachusett, The Landlord, A
Winter Walk, The Succession of Forest Trees, Walk-
ing, Autumnal Tints, Wild Apples, Night and Moon-
light. Every page in this delightful book contains
a new thought, or an old one in a new garb.

The Black Man: His Antecedents, his Genius, and
his Achievements. By William Wells Brown.
12mo. pp. 310. Boston: James Redpath.
More than fifty biographical sketches of men and
women of pure or mixed African descent are com-
prised in this work. The author's long sojourn in
Europe, his opportunity of research amid the ar-
chives of England and France, and his visit to the
West Indies, have given him the advantage of in-
formation respecting the blacks seldom acquired.
The work also contains an interesting memoir of
the author.

Western Border Life; or, What Fanny Hunter Saw
and Heard in Kansas and Missouri. 12mo. PP.
408. Philadelphia: John E. Potter.
A peep into the social and domestic scenes of
border life in Kansas and Missouri. Numerous
thrilling incidents, attending the contentions and
strifes during the three years embraced by this
narrative, together with many amusing anecdotes
and adventures, make an entertaining volume.

Croquet. By Captain Mayne Reid. 12mo. pp. 48.

names extends to nearly nine closely printed double.
columned pages, embracing about eight hundred
items. The copiousness of the catalogue may be
imagined when we state that under the department
of "biography," we counted one hundred and forty-
eight particulars, under the department of "history"
one hundred and sixty-one, and that all other de-
partments are proportionately extensive.
A Catalogue of Law and Miscellaneous Books pub-
lished by Little, Brown & Co., Boston; 110 Wash-
ington Street. October, 1863: pp. 88.
This is a new catalogue, bringing the list of the
publishers down to date. The general merit of the
list is well known to the community and to the
trade. It embraces some of the most valuable
works in American literature. The legal depart-
ment is very rich in reports and in standard text-
books. The miscellaneous works constitute an
extremely attractive collection. The British Essay-
ists and the British Poets are admirable works for
libraries. The latter series in point of skilful
editorship and neatness of mechanical execution is
probably the best collection that has ever appeared
in England or this country. It already extends to
one hundred and twenty-eight volumes. It includes
the authors from Chaucer to Wordsworth, giving
the entire works of the more distinguished writers
with selections from the minor poets, accompanied
The choice selection of English works presented in
with biographical, historical, and critical notes,
the catalogue will attract the attention of readers of
taste and scholarship. Messrs. Little, Brown & Co.,
though they have been long among the most emi-
nent of the leaders of the trade in this country,
have not wearied in their enterprise, and the public
will find in their advertised list of books now in
press and preparing for publication many choice
works in the higher departments of literature.
Among them we may mention a new volume of Ban-
croft's History, the first volume of White's Shaks-

The design of this work is to give a full explana-peare, a History of the World by Philip Smith, the tion of all the terms used in the game of Croquet, and, also, to initiate a novice in the rules of the game.

CATALOGUES.

Harper & Brothers' School and Family Series of
Standard Text-Books. 1863. New York: pp. 46.
Harper & Brothers' List of Publications. 1863. pp.
264.

From these two catalogues the public may form
some conception of the magnitude of the business
of the long-established house of Harper & Brothers.
The first of the lists above mentioned is confined
to an enumeration of text-books for schools and
colleges in all departments of education, beginning
with primers and passing up to the most elaborate
treatises in science, mathematics, and the classics.
The specimen pages of the series of Wilson's Read-
ers present beautiful illustrations of typography,
and the engravings are executed in a style which
makes them attractive as works of art. The se-
cond of the catalogues above named is a general
list of the publications of the Messrs. Harper, and
it is really a monument of their skill, taste, enter-
prise, and capital. There are not many publishing
houses in England or on the Continent who can
present a more numerous list of issues. It is in
itself an admirable help to every reader, for it fur-
nishes the titles of innumerable works, and upon
every conceivable subject. with, in most instances,
a brief sketch of their contents and literary merits,
to which also their price is appended. The alpha-
tical index of subjects and works occupies of

second and third volumes of the Bible Dictionary, Plutarch's Morals, and a reproduction of some of the masterpieces of the good old English literature by Taylor, Selden, Fuller, More, and the famous essayists and playwrights of the Elizabethan age. availed themselves of the taste and scholarship of In the latter class of works the publishers have

List of Books published by Robert Carter & Brothers, 530 Broadway, New York. pp. 24. Also: Descrip tive Catalogue of Books for Young People and Sabbath School Libraries. pp. 36.

The first list

It is well known that the Messrs. Carter have from the beginning of their business addressed themselves chiefly to religious literature and to books intended for the young. In these departments they have been extremely successful. mentioned above is probably more copious in the department of theology than that of any other house in the country. It includes, among others, the works of Baillie, Bonar, Breckinridge, Brown, Chalmers, D'Aubigne, Hamilton, Henry, Hodge, Jacobus, James, Jay, Kitto, McDuff, McCosh, Sprague, and Tyng. So rapidly has the number of works for Sabbath School libraries increased, that the Messrs. Carter are understood to have doubled this branch of their business within the last two years. This result is due to their careful preparation of such works, so as to combine typographical attractiveness with an appropriate literary style and with sound masculine morality. The "Fireside Library," containing a fine assortment of juvenile books, now extending to more than two hundred volumes, chiefly of a narrative

character, is sold in great quantities for family and Sunday School libraries. It must be gratifying to the publishers to know that they are thus impressing the youth of our land with principles which will bear the good fruit of faith and virtue generations hence, when we and all the concerns which so absorb us now shall have passed into forgetfulness.

A New Catalogue of Books issued by Carleton, publisher. New York, 413 Broadway.

This is a list of new books and new editions recently issued by Mr. Carleton. Some of the writers, whose works are included, are Victor Hugo, the author of the "Rutledge" novels, Mrs. Mary J. Holmes, Artemus Ward, Edmund Kirke, A. S. Roe, Rev. John Cumming, Michelet, Ruffini, Fred. S. Cozzens, Jeaffreson, Doesticks, Balzac, Gurowski, Stedman, Stoddard, Miller, Mulock, and Isaac Taylor. Mr. Scribner's taste and energy keep him fully From these names it is evident that the list is abreast with the improvements and prosperity of diversified and valuable. Mr. Carleton's works are the trade. We are not surprised, therefore, to issued in a neat style, and in a form quite satisfacreceive from him a full and attractive list of history to readers. We may add that his catalogue publications for the season. It embraces fourteen includes a translation, by C. E. Wilbour, of Ernest

items, viz: Ik Marvel's new work, "My Farm of Edgewood;" Timothy Titcomb's new work, "Letters to the Joneses;" "Bitter-Sweet," by Holland, an entirely new edition; "The Federalist; "The School Girl's Garland," a selection of poetry by Mrs. C. M. Kirkland; Craik's "History of English Literature;" Shedd's "History of Christian Doctrine;" "Work and Play," by Horace Bushnell; "Gilead," by Rev. J. Hyatt Smith; Clark's "Outlines of the Elements of the English Language;" Stanley's "Tour in the East;" Ewbank's " Hydraulics," new edition, with additional matter; "Book of Public Prayer," new, revised, and enlarged; MacDonald's "My Father's House," new edition. We should call attention to the edition of the "Federalist" mentioned above. It will contain a biographical and historical introduction and notes by H. B. Dawson, and is to be printed at the Riverside Press on tinted paper, with portraits of authors, elaborate notes, complete index, and synoptical table of contents. The first volume will appear during the present month, containing the introduction and text of the work.

Circular of Scribner & Co.'s English Publishers' Depot. New York, 124 Grand Street. November, 1863.

The titles are those of choice illustrated English works for Christmas and New Year's presents. They are fine London editions, richly bound and embellished. The volumes are chiefly poetical, and they are elegant specimens of typography, binding, and engraving. Connoisseurs who can appreciate what we may call the fine arts of book-making should send for this list, if they would indulge in the choicest English illustrations of what may be jointly effected by the printer and artist.

Renan's 66 Life of Christ."

There doubtless exists

a great deal of curiosity to read a book which has attracted so much attention abroad. Renan is an Orientalist of acknowledged eminence, and many incidents concerning him, and facts relating to this work in particular, have been stated by our Paris correspondent in some of his recent letters. Catalogues of J. W. Bouton. New York, No. 481 Broadway.

We have before us Mr. Bouton's catalogues numbered respectively 13, 14, and 15. Number 13 consists of a large and exceedingly choice collection of illustrated works, French, German, and Italian classics, encyclopædias, works of reference, natural history, miscellaneous and standard literature, rare portraits, engravings, &c., comprising the entire library of an author of well-known literary taste. Number 14 is a general collection of rare and standard English books, embracing history, biography, poetry, the drama, and illustrated works. Number 15 includes the entire library of a clergyman, and presents a diversified collection of the early as well as more recent theology. All the catalogues are priced. We have looked into these lists with a good deal of interest. Among them are many rare works not often met with. None of the catalogues of the English dealers are more worthy of the examination of readers of taste than are these of Mr. Bouton. We seldom meet with lists of fine English works which are more tempting to the buyer than these. The greater portion of them were accumulated before the present increased duties were levied and before exchange advanced to its present rate, so that the prices will be found to be far less than those at which the same works can now be imported.
